You got my interest up and I ordered a couple of boxes of the CD's that ship today.  I will give a range report soon and if I have time I will get the chronograph out and compare the GD's, Federal, and the CD's.

The CD's are a little tough to find.  I got the last two boxes and they had no idea when the next ones come in.  I am also going to try the 380 CD's.

That would be Awesome MRC, will you post the findings in this thread or start a new one?

Whoa!    

[Reinz]

You never know - we could have a mole.  

[kjtrains]

Don't think so!      But what do I know?      I do know, I'm walking into that one!    

[Reinz]

Only the Mole knows!  


No, really, I don't think Tracker is being accusatory nor am I.

I think he is just asking a question.

That's a pretty shitty comment.
I have nothing to do with Hornaday, just curious if ammo works as marketed.
BTW, over 3000 post on a gun site?
Get a life.

He's probably right about the CD's.  Why would anyone want to try something new and innovative when Silvertips with their bullet design which was out dated 20 years ago are still available.

I still keep my model 10 in the nightstand loaded with dum-dum's too.

[Reinz]

With all due respects to ALL posters, it doesn't appear too innovative if it does not go BANG!

And given the attitude of the company towards it's consumer's, I am just as turnded off by them and their product as they are by the "gun issue".

There is no magic bullet.  Most premium performance loads will do the job.

I bought my PUP back in 08 and have probably put 350 rounds through it.
I love the gun and carry it every day.
I usually shoot WWB target ammo.
I have shot 50 GD 115g through it and half a box of CD FTX 115g.
I have never had a FTF or FTL.
I do know if a person is wearing heavy clothing a hollow point may pass right through without expanding.
The Hornaday product claims it will pass though heavy clothing and not clog and fully expand into a perfect star almost every time.
I like full expansion and energy transfer into Bad guy.

Good luck.

Hoserack - good points indeed.

However since I feel that Hornady has burned the R9 community, why would I want to spend close to a buck a round(?) for theirs when the FBI has already proved that the Federal Hydra Shoks Will do as you stated , Plus throw more lead at your target as well, with 147 gr ?

They feed flawless in all three of my R9's.

Do the Federals key hole in the 147g?

hoserack,
Did the video show you this?

This is why I don't use any Hornady CD in any of my guns...


note the two on the left are from my hi power, the two on the right my R9....

I don't worry about heavy clothes because I only make head shots.
